This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every persons position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the FAQ and RULES.

I just read an article on Al Jazeera about stand up comics in
foreign nations like Pakistan and elsewhere. Anyway, the reporter said that in foreign countries, it was common practice, for the government to pay the stand up comic to incorporate political propaganda into his act to get the public to support certain ideas. One comic talked about his support for the war on terror, and then spins it into humor. The reporter said payola to comics in foreign countries is very common. I am not suprised. Brainwashing techniques have become more stealthy since Dubya/Cheney/Obama wars have made the USA the most hated country on the planet.

Republicans and people like Maher are actually defending corporations for stealing public airwaves away from him. You should also thank Fox News and Clear Channel talk radio for stifling free speech when they attacked anti-war protesters by labelling them traitors.

Republicans don't know the difference between "the public good" and what are corporate abuses and illegality like anti-muslim hatespeech used to bolster support for the illegal wars.

Those are our airwaves they are using for psychological operations on the American public, and govmnt operatives doing psyops domestically is strictly PROHIBITED!
